I am getting faster at the Timed Challenge Sheets, addition, subtraction, multiplication and divide. They are easier now thanks to the Big Guy, step 1 step 2 and best friends 10 and 20.
I just wanted to say how fantastic I think SAMSON is. I am a parent and know very little about it but have a son in P7 at Troqueer Primary who has never “got” numbers and “hated maths”. I found this difficult as I was taught arithmetic well and use “mental maths” every day at 40. Since he has started SAMSON he has made huge progress with all aspects of mental maths - it’s quite unbelievable. I only wish he had benefitted from it sooner! He’s even enjoying numbers and their challenges now which is great. I’m looking forward to learning a bit more about the strategies and how parents can support the work at home soon. I think it’s a brilliant addition to kids education and just wanted to thank you very much!
Flipcharts have helped my mental agility; they are getting me to understand and I'm getting better and faster scores. I am quite confident at dividing and multiplying and I use Big Guy number bond.
I think when we do the maths timed sheets in the morning it helps us get faster and learn our sums quicker. It helps me learn when we do Big Guy number bond and step 1 step 2.
